AWFL STUPID:

THE WAR ON WOMEN: California parent whose daughter lost to biological male in girls’ track competition responds.

One of the parents of the runners who lost to Ryan, whose name is being withheld due to fears of retaliation and bullying, blasted the competition for allowing a biological male to compete against the girls.

“I’m absolutely opposed to it. There’s no way this should be allowed,” the parent said. “Ryan was in like fifth place with 100 to go, and all of a sudden he… blew past the girls.”

“How do you not understand that that’s unfair?” the parent said.

“I 100% percent empathize with the need to belong and the desire to compete. [However,] you have to understand how hard these girls work to do this.”

“You’re cheating [the sport], like the narcissism of this whole thing,” the parent said about CIF’s policies.

The parent’s fear of retaliation and bullying is the real story here.

STOLEN VALOR: Biden again claimed son Beau died ‘in Iraq’ to Marines at Japan stop. “In fact, the president’s son died of brain cancer in 2015 at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Such glaring factual errors are a political liability for Biden, who is seeking a second term in 2024.”

JOE BIDEN: PARTYING LIKE IT’S 1939.

MARK JUDGE: The liberal hypocrisy over ‘banned books.’

When I was in 5th Grade, or maybe 6th, they took the Dr. Doolittle books off the school library shelves because they were insensitive to indigenous peoples or some such. I was incensed, since I was in the middle of reading them. The school librarian kept them behind the counter and let me finish them before she shipped them off to wherever discarded books go.

I always think of this, which happened back in the 1970s, when people say that conservatives have started to ban books in school libraries.

VERY: How bad was the gaslighting?

The political, cultural, academic, and media Elite literally promoted the idea that anybody who was skeptical about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID vaccine was a murderer and deserved to die.

Deserved to die. Not just that they were placing themselves at risk, but that their failure to comply with the diktats of others made them worthy of death.

It is impossible to overstate the level of evil involved. And yes, it was not just wrong, but evil. The primary justifications behind the propaganda effort were manifestly false: unvaccinated people somehow magically endanger people who themselves are totally incapable of either getting or transmitting the virus itself.

This idea is absolutely irrational. If the vaccine worked as advertised, nobody who chose to be unvaccinated presented a moment’s danger to anybody who was vaccinated. After all, if you were vaccinated you were protected, right? That was the point. You could neither get nor spread the virus.

Joe Biden said so.
